Abstract
The NRL’s League Bilong Laif (LBL) program began as a three-way partnership between the Australian Government (represented by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, DFAT), the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Government (represented by the National Department of Education), and the Australian Rugby League Commission (represented by the NRL). LBL is a result of a comprehensive program design process, strategically designed to contribute to development outcomes, which include: ”¢ Improve student engagement with education in and out of the classroom via communication of positive social messages; ”¢ Increase opportunities for empowerment of females of all ages; and ”¢ Improve organisational and management capacity of rugby league in PNG. The aim of this project was to undertake a research evaluation of the LBL program in PNG to explore its achievements, challenges, and emerging outcomes.
